Fe-Mail УVoluptuous VulturesФ (PsychForm Records; http://www.psychform.com; http://femailmusic.com/)
The disks released on PsychForm Records are always pleasant unexpectedness for me - every new release, sent to me on reviewing, I insert into a player with an anticipation of opening of a new name and reception of improbable intellectual stimulation, each time of other sort.
Fe-Mail Ц electro-noise project of two girls - Maja Ratkje and Hild Sofie Tafjord. Several years ago they played in the mad improvising band SPUNK and as a duet they work together since 2000 (their debut has happened in Mecca of the similar music - in Tokyo).
Maja Ratkje has a reputation as the leader of the Norwegian noise-stage and has a unique voice. She worked with such musicians as Lasse Marhaug, John Hegre (one of the participants of the improvisatory duet Jazzkammer, and also Kaptein Kaliber, Golden Serenades and New Boiling Near The Fjords), Jaap Blonk, Ikue Mori, Otomo Yoshihide, Wolf Eyes, Matmos, Jason Forrest, Kim Hiortoy, Ulver, etc. Hild Sofie Tafjord is not less known on an experimental stage than her colleague and uses various horns more often.
Listening to the disk makes a fantastic impression! The rolled roar serves as the second plan for Уthe soloistФ puzzled combinations of strange, sometimes mysterious sounds (not without micro-wave of course). Periodically there are severely deformed voice parts by Maja Ratkje which are easy to confuse with mad pipes by Hild Sofie Tafjord. Set of intonational layers create an atmosphere not comparable with anything, unexpectedly arising melodic lines draw attention, and then dissolved, the powerful analog component creates an aura of experimental С60s and Throbbing GristleТs pioneering.
Most of all it is similar to Coil in the period of УMusic To Play In The DarkФ if it was conducted by Sun Ra.
The album УVoluptuous VulturesФ is not the first in discography of the duet. It is necessary to find their previous work together with Lasse Marhaug, the album УAll Men Are PigsФ!(Hot
stuff)
